His unpredictable behavior may cause an incident that implicates Maomao, potentially leading to severe punishment from the volatile Lady Shenmei.
Meanwhile, Loulan shows increasing signs of personal rebellion against her mother's tyrannical rule. Having endured years of abuse and witnessing her mother's cruelty toward Suirei, Loulan appears ready to take decisive action soon.
